"The 3-hinge arch has a free span of about 40 m, and... [has a] copper “roof”. ...the arch support, which accommodates a (double) steel tie rod, is made to cover the entire base of the arch. Both sides of the arch are covered by a creosote Venetian blind type protection that will keep both rain and sun away from the arch, and at the same time provide adequate “ventilation” of the massive glulam arch. In this particular case the arch itself is not creosote impregnated, but the glulam is pressure salt impregnated."
